doubled to 4,000 points (4 free movies) for all accounts opened by

Much like the pages we have for some other brands of credit cards we have now made a dedicated page to sign up bonuses for mbna credit cards. You can view it here

In the department of odd redemption options comes this offer from JAL Mileage Bank.
It is not for Canadian JAL MB members but it really intrigued me as I
haven't seen a redemption like this before so I thought I would pass it along! Feel free to comment with other odd or weird redemption options you've seen before!

WestJet announced yesterday that all Personal
Electronic Devices (PED) can be used during all phases of flights
including taxi, take off and landing as long as they are in a
non-transmitting or flight mode. (Source WestJet). Air Canada instituted
the same policy last week on May 28th. This is perfect timing for both
airlines as they are both in the process of or will shortly be
introducing inflight Wi-fi.
